(vi) Guaranty of Payment Agreement. That certain Guaranty of Payment Agreement dated of even date herewith by Parent for the benefit of the Seller Representative.

1.5 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Company along with the data and work papers, showing in reasonable detail the Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Working Capital as of the Effective Time, together with the amount of the Working Capital Adjustment based thereon (collectively, the “Final Working Capital Statement”).

(b) If the Seller Representative disputes any matter or item set forth in the Final Working Capital Statement, the Seller Representative may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Closing Statement, provide to Buyer a written statement of such disputes (“Notice of Dispute”). During such thirty (30)-day review period and any period of dispute with respect to the Final Working Capital Statement thereafter, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Company to, (x) provide Seller Representative and his representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the Books and Records of the Company and all working papers in the Buyer’s or its representative’s possession or control for purposes of their review of the Final Working Capital Statement and (y) cooperate reasonably with Seller Representative in connection with such review. Buyer and the Seller Representative shall use good faith efforts to jointly resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Notice of Dispute, which resolution, if achieved, shall be binding upon all Parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or judicial review.

(c) If Buyer and the Seller Representative cannot resolve such disputes to their mutual satisfaction within such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall, within the following ten (10) days, jointly engage the Neutral Accountant to review the Final Working Capital Statement together with the Notice of Dispute and any other relevant documents. The Neutral Accountant shall calculate the Working Capital using the items included in the Final Working Capital Statement that are not disputed by Buyer and the Seller Representative and shall make its own determination of any item that is disputed by Buyer and the Seller Representative, but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall any such determination by the Neutral Accountant for any disputed item be outside the range therefor set forth in the Final Working Capital Statement and the written Notice of Dispute. The Neutral Accountant shall not be authorized or permitted to apply any accounting methods, treatments, principles or procedures other than as described in Section 1.5(a). When rendering decisions with respect to items disputed in the Notice of Dispute, the Neutral Accountant will take into consideration both sides of any required accounting entry when resolving such disputed item (e.g., a misclassification of outstanding checks between cash and accounts payable will require adjustment to both accounts, even if cash is the account subject to the Notice of Dispute and accounts payable is not). The Neutral Accountant shall report its conclusions as to such disputes and its determination of the Working Capital and the amount of the Working Capital Adjustment based thereon pursuant to this Section 1.5 no later than thirty (30) days after it is engaged by Buyer and the Seller Representative, which determination shall be conclusive on all Parties to this Agreement and not subject to further dispute or judicial review. A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.5 may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction. If the Neutral Accountant resolves all of the objections in favor of Buyer, Seller Representative will be responsible for the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses. If the Neutral Accountant resolves all of the objections in favor of Seller Representative, Buyer will be responsible for the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses. If the Neutral Accountant resolves some of the objections in favor of each of Buyer and Seller Representative, then each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller Representative, on the other hand, shall be responsible for fifty (50%) of the Neutral Accountant’s fees and expenses.

(d) At such time as the Working Capital as of the Effective Time is finalized (such amount being the “Final Working Capital Amount”), the Base Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows (and such adjustment shall be referred to herein as the “Working Capital Adjustment”):

(i) If the Final Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Working Capital, then the amount of such deficiency shall be payable to Buyer by Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), within three (3) Business Days, after the date of determination of the Final Working Capital Amount in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as per the written instructions of the Company or Buyer.

(ii) If the Final Working Capital Amount is greater than the Target Working Capital, then Buyer shall, within three (3) Business Days after the date of determination of the Final Working Capital Amount, pay any such excess to the Seller Representative (on behalf of Sellers, in accordance with each Seller’s Pro Rata Share), in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such bank account as per the written instructions of the Seller Representative.

(e) The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any disputes with respect to the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement and the Final Working Capital Amount; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit Buyer or the Seller Representative from instituting litigation to enforce the determination of the Neutral Accountant.

1.6 Seller Representative.

(a) By their execution of this Agreement and delivery of their Company Interests and/or their acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, Sellers hereby irrevocably appoint the Seller Representative as the representative, attorney-in-fact and agent of Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in any litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement. In connection therewith, the Seller Representative is authorized to do or refrain from doing all further acts and things, and to execute all such documents as the Seller Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate, and shall have the power and authority to, in each case, in the name and on behalf of Sellers:

(i) act for Sellers with regard to all matters pertaining to this Agreement;

(ii) act for Sellers to transact matters of litigation or arbitration with regard to all matters pertaining to this Agreement;

(iii) execute and deliver all amendments, waivers, ancillary agreements, certificates and documents that the Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including waiving any closing conditions on behalf of Sellers or deem any closing condition satisfied);

(iv) receive funds, make payments of funds, and give receipts for funds;

(v) do or refrain from doing, on behalf of Sellers, any further act or deed that the Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate in the Seller Representative’s discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as Sellers could do if personally present;

(vi) give and receive all notices required to be given or received by Sellers under this Agreement;

(vii) agree to, negotiate and/or comply with the determination of the Final Working Capital Statement and the Final Working Capital Amount pursuant to Section 1.5;

(viii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises and/or comply with arbitration awards and court Orders with respect to claims for indemnification made by Buyer under Article VI; and

(ix) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement.

(b) The Seller Representative shall act for Sellers on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Seller Representative believes to be in the best interest of Sellers. The Seller Representative is authorized to act on behalf of Sellers notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among Sellers. In taking any action as the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative may rely conclusively, without any further inquiry or investigation, upon any certification or confirmation, oral or written, given by any Person whom the Seller Representative reasonably believes to be authorized thereunto.

(c) In the event the Seller Representative becomes unable to perform the Seller Representative’s responsibilities hereunder, Sellers (acting by a written instrument signed by Sellers who held, as of immediately prior to the Closing, a majority (by voting power) of the then outstanding Company Interests) shall select another representative to fill the vacancy of the Seller Representative, and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Seller Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. The Seller Representative shall provide Buyer prompt written notice of any replacement of the Seller Representative, including the identity and address of the new Seller Representative. Upon any replacement of the Seller Representative, if requested by Buyer, the substitute Seller Representative shall execute a confidentiality agreement in connection with such appointment.

(d) For all purposes of this Agreement:

(i) Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Seller Representative as to the settlement of any disputes or claims under this Agreement, or any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Seller Representative hereunder, and no Party shall have any cause of action against Buyer for any action taken by Buyer in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Seller Representative;

(ii) the provisions of this Section 1.6 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Seller may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iii) this Section 1.6 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees, assignees and successors of each Seller, and any references in this Agreement to a Seller shall mean and include the successors to the rights of each applicable Seller hereunder, whether pursuant to testamentary disposition, the Laws of descent and distribution or otherwise.

(e) Sellers agree that the Seller Representative shall not be liable for any Damages while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its reasonable judgment and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement.

1.7 Withholding Taxes. Buyer (and its Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable by it pursuant to this Agreement to any Person, such Taxes as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, and to collect any necessary Tax forms, including Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or any similar information, from Sellers and any other recipients of payments hereunder. Before making any such deduction or withholding from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (other than with respect to amounts treated as compensation and subject to payroll withholding), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any Person on behalf of which such deduction or withholding is proposed to be made five (5)-days advance written notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding, which notice shall include the basis for the proposed deduction or withholding under applicable Law and Buyer will reasonably cooperate with any reasonable request from such Person to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. In the event that any amount is so deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amount will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom the payment from which such amount was withheld was made.

1.8 Post-Closing Payments and Withholding. On or before October 5, 2020, Buyer shall cause the Company to pay (i) the Offer Letter Payment and the Change of Control Payments to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as applicable (subject to any withholding taxes under applicable law thereon), and (ii) any applicable withholding taxes arising from the receipt by ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of their pro rata portion of the Membership Interest Rollover Amounts (Closing), or the equity granted to them in the Company that they are exchanging for such rollover amounts (the “Equity Compensation”), in each case in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practice. Buyer shall cause the Company to remit any such withholding taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Sellers for any failure by the Company to properly withhold taxes attributable to Offer Letter Payment, the Change of Control Payment, and the Equity Compensation.

5.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Treatment.

(i) For U.S. federal, state and local Income Tax purposes, Sellers and Buyer agree that (1) the sale contemplated herein of the Company Interests that are other than the Contributed Interests shall be treated as a purchase and sale of partnership interests, (2) the contribution of the Contributed Interests by the Sellers to the Buyer shall be treated as a contribution of property for partnership interests in the Buyer pursuant to Section 721(a) of the Code, and (3) Buyer shall be considered a continuation of the Company (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(ii) Consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and the Code Section 754 election, Buyer and Sellers agree that the Base Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5 (together with all liabilities of the Company that are treated as purchase price for applicable Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company for applicable Tax purposes in a manner consistent with Section 755 of the Code and the relevant Treasury Regulations, in accordance with the methodology attached hereto as Schedule 5.2(a)(ii), which the Parties agree reflects the fair market value (or the methodology to determine the fair market value) of the assets of the Company.

(iii) Except as otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), the Parties agree to report consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment on their Tax Returns, and to not take any position for applicable Tax purposes that is inconsistent therewith.

(b) Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(i) Tax Returns. All Tax Returns for the Company for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), which are filed after the Closing Date, shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practices, methods, and elections of the Company, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable law. The preparing Party shall deliver copies of the Tax Returns prepared by such Party to the nonpreparing Party, for review and comment, at least twenty (20) days prior to filing. All Tax Returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared at the expense of Sellers. All Tax Returns for a Straddle Period shall be prepared by and at the expense of the Company. The non-preparing Party shall provide any written comments within ten (10) days after receipt of such Tax Return from the preparing Party. If no such written comments are delivered, then non-preparing Party shall be deemed to have accepted such Tax Return. Upon receipt of written comments, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall consult and attempt to resolve in good faith all reasonable comments to any Tax Returns. If, after consulting in good faith, Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve any comments, then, if such unagreed Tax Return is a non-Income Tax Return or a Straddle Period Income Tax Return, it shall be referred to the Neutral Accountant for resolution. If the Neutral Accountant is unable to make a determination with respect to any disputed item prior to the due date for the filing of the Tax Return in question, then (i) the Seller Representative, Buyer, or the Company, as applicable, shall timely file such Tax Return in accordance with the preparing Party’s reasonable position and (ii) when the Neutral Accountant subsequently resolves the dispute, the Seller Representative, Buyer, or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly file an amended Tax Return, if necessary, reflecting the resolution by the Neutral Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be shared equally by Sellers and Buyer. Sellers shall be responsible for all Taxes due and payable with respect to the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including the portion of a Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date.

(ii) Pre-Closing Tax Period Income Tax Returns. The Seller Representative, at the expense of Sellers, shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Income Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date. Sellers shall timely pay to the appropriate Governmental Authority, all Income Taxes that are due and payable with respect to the Company for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date.

(iii) Pre-Closing Tax Period Non-Income Tax Returns and Straddle Period Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed (A) all non-Income Tax Returns for the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods which are filed after the Closing Date and (B) all Tax Returns for the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”). Buyer shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns; provided, however, that the Seller Representative, on behalf of Sellers, shall promptly reimburse Buyer to the extent any payment Buyer is required to make is attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (or deemed pursuant to Section 5.2(c) to end) on or before the Closing Date to the extent such Taxes exceed the amount of such Taxes that were included as an accrued Tax liability in determining the Final Working Capital Amount; provided, further, in no event shall Buyer or the Company be responsible for Taxes that flow-thru to Sellers, e.g., Income Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, Income Taxes of Sellers shall not be included as a Tax liability in the determination of the Final Working Capital Amount and shall be payable by Sellers.

(iv) Transaction Deductions. Buyer and Sellers agree that in connection with the preparation and filing of Income Tax Returns of or with respect to the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable Law any deductions and/or losses of or with respect to Company Indebtedness, Employee Payments, and Transaction Expenses shall be claimed in taxable periods, or portions thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date and that the Company shall claim any available election under the safe harbor provisions contained in Revenue Procedure 2011-29, 2011-18 I.R.B. 746, with respect to any “success-based fees”.

(v) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Transaction Documents, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Transaction Documents (including any transfer or similar tax imposed by states or subdivisions) shall be borne by 50% Buyer and 50% by Sellers. The party legally responsible for filing any Tax Return with respect to Transfer Taxes shall, at its own expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer and/or Sellers, as applicable, will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(c) Allocation of Taxes. The portion of any Taxes for a Straddle Period that are allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to equal (i) in the case of Taxes other than real or personal property Taxes or Transfer Taxes, the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with, and included, the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of real and personal property Taxes and similar ad valorum Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending with the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two portions of a taxable period pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 5.2(c), the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable period (e.g., the benefit of graduated tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two portions of the period in proportion to the number of days in each portion.

(d) Tax Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, plus sixty (60) days, each Seller, separately and not jointly and severally, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, agrees to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties and hold them harmless, from and against, without duplication, all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) for which the Company is liable for all taxable periods or portions thereof (as determined in Section 5.2(c)) ending on or before the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on Buyer or the Company for such period or portion thereof as a transferee or successor, by contract, other than any Commercial Tax Agreement, or pursuant to any Law), or otherwise, to the extent such Taxes were not included as an accrued Tax liability in determining the Final Working Capital Amount.

(e) Cooperation in Tax Matters. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate reasonably in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Company and any Tax Proceeding of the Company. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information with respect to the Company which are in the possession of any Seller or Buyer or the Company and are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding.

(f) Tax Proceedings. The Seller Representative or Buyer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of becoming aware of the commencement after the Closing Date of any Tax Proceeding, or of any demand or claim on Buyer or any of its Affiliates, including the Company, which could give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Agreement relating to or arising from Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period (a “Tax Indemnification Event”). Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the recipient party) with respect to the Tax Indemnification Event in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Governmental Authority in respect thereof. If there is a Tax Indemnification Event relating to Income Taxes solely with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, then the Seller Representative shall have the right to assume the defense of such Tax Proceeding; provided, the Seller Representative shall (A) acknowledge in writing that such Taxes are within the scope of the indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, (B) appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer in connection with such defense, and (C) notify Buyer of its intent to assume the defense of such Tax Proceeding within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of the Tax Indemnification Event relating to such Tax Proceeding; provided, further, that if the Seller Representative elects to assume the defense of a Tax Proceeding pursuant to this Section 5.2(f), Buyer shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding (at its own expense) and the Seller Representative shall not settle, abandon or otherwise resolve such Tax Proceeding without the written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Additionally, for any notice of final partnership adjustment received by the Company with respect to which an “imputed underpayment” (within the meaning of Section 6225(b) of the Code) may be determined for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Seller Representative shall consent to the Company’s timely making of the election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code and timely file or otherwise provide all required reports and statements, and otherwise take any other action, required by Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to push out the Tax adjustments or “imputed underpayment” to Sellers. All other Tax Proceedings against the Company shall be controlled by Buyer, provided that if any such Tax claim could result in a Tax Indemnification Event under which the Sellers may be subject to indemnification obligations owed to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, then the Seller Representative shall be entitled to participate in such claims and Buyer shall not settle, abandon, or otherwise resolve any such claims without the written consent of the Seller Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2(f), rather than those of Section 6.5, shall apply with respect to any Tax Proceeding.

(g) Refunds. Sellers shall be entitled to the amount of any refund of Taxes of the Company with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods or portions (as determined under Section 5.2(c)) of Straddle Periods through and including the Closing Date (to the extent such Taxes were paid by the Company prior to the Closing or by any Seller after the Closing or were included as an accrued Tax liability in the Final Working Capital Amount, and excluding any refunds of Taxes that were reflected as an accrued Tax asset in the Final Working Capital Amount), net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining such refund or any Taxes incurred as a result of receipt of such refund, which refund is actually received from a Governmental Authority (or credited or applied to reduce Taxes otherwise payable) by Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Company) after the Closing. Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers any amount to which Sellers are entitled pursuant to the prior sentence within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt or recognition of the applicable refund or credit by Buyer or its Affiliates. To the extent any such refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Authority, Sellers agree promptly to repay the amount of such refund or credit, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Authority, to Buyer.

(h) Section 754 Election. Buyer shall cause the Company to make, and Sellers shall cooperate in the making of, a timely and effective election under Code Section 754 (and any equivalent election for applicable state and local Income Tax purposes), which Section 754 election (and equivalent election) shall be filed by the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) with its U.S. federal Income Tax Return (and applicable state and local Income Tax Returns) for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date and shall be effective for such taxable year.

(i) Tax Adjustments. The Parties agree to treat any amount paid pursuant to Section 1.5, this Section 5.2 and Article VI as an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price for U.S. federal Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(j) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing or similar agreements to which the Company is a party, other than any Commercial Tax Agreement, shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

(k) Scope. Any claim by any Party relating to a breach by another Party of its obligations under this Section 5.2 shall be pursued in accordance with the procedures for indemnification claims, and shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions, set forth in Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other term or condition of Article VI, to the extent there is any inconsistency between the terms of Article VI and this Section 5.2 with respect to the allocation of responsibility between Sellers and Buyer for Taxes relating to the Company, the provisions of this Section 5.2 shall govern. For the avoidance of doubt, unless expressly excluded, the applicable provisions of Section 6.3 shall apply with respect to any amounts payable by Sellers under this Section 5.2.

(l) Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections. Buyer shall not, and shall not cause the Company to, (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to any Tax year ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

5.3 Confidentiality. Each Seller recognizes that, by reason of its ownership of Company Interests in the Company and/or employment by the Company before the Closing Date, such Seller has acquired Confidential Information of the Company, the use or disclosure of which could cause Buyer, the Company and/or their respective Affiliates substantial Damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at Law would be adequate. Accordingly, each Seller covenants and agrees with Buyer that, from and after the Closing, such Seller shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit any of such Seller’s Affiliates to use, disclose or publish, any Confidential Information of the Company, unless (a) such information becomes generally available or known to the public through no fault of any Seller or any of its Affiliates (or, prior to the Closing, the Company), (b) is obtained by any Seller or any of its Affiliates from a third party not under confidentiality obligations and without a breach of any obligations of confidentiality; or (c) the disclosing Party is advised in writing by counsel that disclosure is required by Law or Order; provided, however, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (c) above, such Person shall give prior written notice thereof to Buyer and provide Buyer with the opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.3 will not prohibit (i) any retention of copies of records or disclosure (A) required by any applicable Law so long as reasonable prior notice is given to Buyer and the Company of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity is afforded Buyer and the Company to contest the same or (B) made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use by any Seller of general industry information or know-how in such Seller’s ordinary course of business, or (iii) the use by any Seller of Confidential Information in the course of such Seller’s duties as an employee of the Company or Buyer.

5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon reasonable request of any Party, each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other instruments and documents and shall take all such other actions reasonably required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

5.5 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) The Sellers acknowledge and agree that (i) Buyer has required that each Seller, for itself and on behalf of its Related Persons, make the covenants set forth in this Section 5.5 as a condition to Buyer’s willingness to purchase the Company Interests pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the provisions of Section 5.3 and this Section 5.5 are reasonable and necessary to protect the goodwill of the business of the Company from and after Closing, and (iii) that a breach or threatened breach of Section 5.3 or this Section 5.5 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by any Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(b) Accordingly, in consideration of the premises contained herein and in consideration of and as an inducement to Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Seller, for itself and on behalf of such Seller’s Related Persons, covenants and agrees that, no such Person shall, directly or indirectly:

(i) with respect to all Sellers and their respective Related Persons, during the period from and after the Closing Date until the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “Restricted Period”), engage or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, receive a financial interest in, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, financing, or control of, be employed by, any business that is primarily engaged in the development of sales enablement SaaS platform software (the “Restricted Business”) in the United States (the “Restricted Territory”); provided, that (1) such Person may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) two percent (2%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, (2) notwithstanding the foregoing, no member of a Seller’s Family (other than such Seller) shall be prohibited from being employed by any business engaged in the Restricted Business, and (3) notwithstanding the foregoing, any member of a Seller’s Family (other than such Seller) may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) two percent (2%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise except as an employee pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (2));

(ii) during the applicable Restricted Period whether for such Person’s own account or the account of any other Person: (A) solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any Person who was an employee of the Company on the Closing Date or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any such employee of the Company to terminate such employee’s employment with the Company, Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates (including Parent) or (B) interfere with the relationship of the Company, Buyer or Buyer’s Affiliates with any Person who was an employee of the Company on the Closing Date; provided, that such Person shall not be prohibited from placing any advertisements for positions to the public generally;

(iii) during the applicable Restricted Period: (A) solicit for business, which business is competitive with that of the Company, any customer, client or vendor of the Company, (B) encourage, induce, seek to encourage or induce, or assist any other Person to encourage, induce or seek to encourage or induce any customer, client or vendor of the Company to cease or adversely change its, his or her business relationship or dealings with the Company or (C) in any way deliberately interfere with the relationship between the Company and any customer, client or vendor; or

(c) If any covenant of any Person in Section 5.3 or this Section 5.5 is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant shall be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, shall be effective, binding and enforceable against such Person.

(d) The period of time applicable to any covenant in this Section 5.5 for any Person shall be extended by the duration of any breach by such Person of such covenant (as determined in a final, unappealable judgement by a court of competent jurisdiction).

5.6 Cooperation in Litigation. In the event that a claim is asserted against Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) with respect to the business of the Company or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, each Seller, at Buyer’s sole expense and in any event subject to Article VI, (and, prior to Closing, the Company shall) reasonably cooperate with Buyer in the defense of such claim. Each Seller shall, at Buyer’s sole expense and in any event subject to Article VI (and, prior to Closing, the Company shall), reasonably consult with Buyer regarding the defense of any proceedings or litigation against the Company or any Seller relating to any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.7 Governmental Approvals and Consents. Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, (i) make, or cause or be made, all filings and submissions required under any Law applicable to such party or any of its Affiliates; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, Orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of such party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other parties and their Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, Orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not wilfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, Orders and approvals.

5.8 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Buyer shall be permitted to (a) issue press releases, make public announcements to and communicate with employees, customers and suppliers without the consent or participation of the Sellers, and (b) make customary disclosures to its Affiliates and/or their respective investors, potential investors, members or limited partners, so long as any such Person is bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto, and (B) Parent shall be permitted to file a Form 8-K with the SEC, which Form 8-K shall include as an exhibit thereto a copy of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and, if determined by Parent, a copy of the press release issued by Parent regarding the execution by the Parties of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

5.9 Release of Claims. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, for and on behalf of himself or itself and each of his or its Affiliates, does hereby (and shall be deemed to have) IRREVOCABLY and UNCONDITIONALLY release, acquit and forever discharge the Released Parties, and each of them individually, from the Released Claims. Sellers hereby expressly waive any rights they have or may have under applicable Law to preserve Released Claims which they do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of executing this Agreement. Sellers understand and acknowledge that they may discover facts different from, or in addition to, those which Sellers know or believe to be true with respect to the Released Claims, and agree that the release provided in this Section 5.9 shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any subsequent discovery of different or additional facts. If any Seller discovers that any fact relied upon in entering into such release was untrue, or that any fact was concealed, or that an understanding of the facts or law was incorrect, such Seller shall not be entitled to any relief as a result thereof, and Sellers hereby surrender any rights they might have to rescind the release provided in this Section 5.9 on any ground. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.9, Sellers will forever refrain and forbear from commencing, instituting or prosecuting any lawsuit, action or other proceeding of any kind against the Released Parties based on, arising out of, or in connection with any Released Claim. Sellers represent and warrant that they have full power and authority to release the Released Claims and that they have not assigned any rights in the Released Claims to any other Person. This Agreement is intended to be effective as a general release of and bar to all claims as stated in this Section 5.9. Accordingly, each Seller expressly waives all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states, “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in this Section 5.9 shall affect the ability of Sellers to bring a claim or other Action under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to release the Buyer from any of its obligations to Sellers under this Agreement.

5.10 Waiver of Rights. Each Seller and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any rights of first refusal, rights of first offer, call or put rights or similar rights pursuant to the Company LLC Agreement (and under any other applicable agreement) with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Rollover and any other transfer of Company Interests or other equity interests contemplated herein or therein.

5.11 Supplement to Disclosure Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each, a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of the indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

6.1 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, each Seller, separately and not jointly and severally, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company and Parent) and their respective successors and permitted assigns (individually, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of all Damages suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement;

(ii) any nonfulfillment or breach prior to the Closing of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement;

(iv) notwithstanding any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule, any non-compliance with the terms of the Company PPP Loan or the inability to secure forgiveness of the Company PPP Loan, including for failure to receive consent for this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, and all costs, expenses and penalties associated therewith. There shall be no liability for indemnification under this Section 6.1(a)(iv) unless the aggregate amount of Damages, costs, expenses and penalties under this Section 6.1(a)(iv) exceeds $45,000, at which time Sellers will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties only with respect to the aggregate amount of all Damages, costs, expenses and penalties described in this Section 6.1(a)(iv) in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller Indemnification Threshold and the Cap shall not apply to the indemnification provided in this Section 6.1(a)(iv).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, each Seller, separately and not jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of all Damages suffered or incurred by any Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Seller set forth in this Agreement; and

(ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of such Seller set forth in this Agreement.

6.2 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, its Affiliates (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Company) and their respective successors and permitted assigns (individually, a “Seller Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Damages suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from or arising out of:

(a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in this Agreement; and

(b) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement.

6.3 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 6.1, there shall be no liability for indemnification under Section 6.1(a)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Damages under this Agreement exceeds $30,000 (the “Seller Indemnification Threshold”), at which time Sellers will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties only with respect to the aggregate amount of all Damages described in Section 6.1(a)(i) in excess of such amount, subject to the remaining limitations in this Article VI (including the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(b)). In no event shall Sellers maximum indemnification liability to Buyer Indemnified Parties (i) pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) exceed $560,000 (the “Cap”), and (ii) pursuant to this Agreement exceed the aggregate amount of the cash proceeds actually received directly by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (other than claims arising from Fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or, with respect to each individual Seller, such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the aggregate cash proceeds actually received by the Sellers.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Indemnification Threshold and the Cap shall not apply to Damages based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation, (ii) any claims arising from Fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) any claims arising under Section 6.1(a)(iv).

(c) Subject to Section 6.3(a), for purposes of this Article VI, solely for purposes of calculating the amount of any Damages arising from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement which is qualified by the words “material,” “in all material respects” or similar “materiality” qualifiers, such Damages shall be calculated as if such qualifier were not contained therein.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party will be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such party or its Affiliates have been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement or any other document executed in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, Damages shall not include any amounts that were actually included in Unpaid Company Indebtedness, Unpaid Transaction Expenses or Change of Control Payments or as liabilities in the final determination of Working Capital.

(e) Furthermore, in the event any Damages related to a claim by any of the Indemnified Parties are covered by insurance, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under available insurance (with no requirement to file a lawsuit or any other legal proceeding against an insurer), and no Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover from any of the Indemnifying Parties (and shall refund amounts received up to the amount of indemnification actually received) with respect to such Damages to the extent the Indemnified Party actually recovers the insurance payment specified in the policy, in each case giving effect to deductibles or self-insured or co-insurance payments made and net of the present value of any reasonably probable increase in insurance premiums or other reasonable charges paid or to be paid by the Indemnified Party resulting from such Damages and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in recovering such proceeds from its insurers.

6.4 Survival and Expiration of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. With respect to any claim that any Party may have against any other Party that is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the survival periods set forth and agreed to in this Section 6.4 shall govern when any such claim may be brought.

(a) The representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations) made by the Parties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; provided, that the Fundamental Representations shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter of the representations and warranties set forth in those Sections.

(b) The covenants and agreements of the Parties under this Agreement shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(c) If a Claim Notice has been timely given in accordance with this Agreement prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive solely as to such claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

6.5 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under this Article VI (“Claims”) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) has a Claim against any Party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (the “Indemnifying Party”) arising out of a Claim asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) The Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim, describing the Third Party Claim in reasonably detail and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim) of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice as required by this Section 6.5 of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) If any Indemnified Party asserts a Claim involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days from delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”), notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires to defend against such Third Party Claim. If, and for so long as, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, then except as hereinafter provided, such Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend against such Third Party Claim by appropriate proceedings with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Indemnifying Party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless such settlement (I) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in respect of the Third Party Claim, (II) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (III) excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement the Indemnified Party may do so at its sole cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable period of time or with reasonable diligence, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim.

(iii) If (A) the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, (B) fails to defend such claim within a reasonable period of time or with reasonable diligence, or (C) the Indemnified Party advises that there are conflicts of interest that, based on advice of counsel, cause the joint representation of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party by a single counsel to cause joint representation of the indemnifying and indemnified parts to be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to be informed and consulted with respect to the negotiation, settlement or defenses of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party is defending a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing thereto (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed).

(b) For purposes of this Section 6.5, (i) if any or all Sellers comprise the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make any payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Seller Representative, and (ii) if any or all Sellers comprise the Indemnified Party, any references to the Indemnified Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Seller Representative.

6.6 Payment. Once a Claim has been finalized pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 6.5, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnified Party the amount of any such Claim. If any Seller is the Indemnifying Party, Sellers obligations to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 5.2(d) shall be satisfied by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers).

6.7 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonably steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event or circumstances that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum, extent necessary to remedy the breach that give rise to such Damages.

6.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, disputes under Section 1.5, which are subject to a specified dispute resolution procedure) and except with respect to Fraud, claims for injunctive or other equitable relief under Section 8.8 or offset rights, the remedies provided for in this Article VI and in Section 5.2(d) will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto and their Affiliates and their respective stockholders, members, managers, trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns for claims arising out of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI; provided, however, that the rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and non-exclusive, and the availability or use of any one right or remedy by any party will not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other remedies. The provisions in this Article VI do not: (a) waive or affect any claims for Fraud to which any party may be entitled, or relieve or limit the liability of any party from any liability arising out of or resulting from claims for Fraud, and (b) waive or affect any equitable remedies to which any party may be entitled.
